5 The Life Outside The Walls

It has already been 3 hours since we headed out of the castle, to the city. The city was beautiful, but it wasn't what I had expected. I saw children, old people, and ill people on the floor trying to beg for money. My eyes were set on them, for I knew I had a way better life than them; and I knew Amelia would have been heartbroken to see such misery.

As Nine saw me looking at the bad side of the city; he quickly asked people to put on music and dance, to change the mood I guess. At first, I thought it was inconsiderate of him, for dancing and singing; having fun while others were sad. But soon I saw that the sad ones had a smile and were enjoying the little fun Nine brought.

Nine made me dance, sing, and have fun with him. Who knew he could turn that dark day brighter. He made me forget my sadness. Before returning to the castle which I had forgotten the thought of going back home. Nine took me into a secret garden, it was quite dark but beautiful. There he gave me a bouquet of Freesia, and it reminded me of Amelia. He told me to scream all my thoughts and pain in the garden and to bring this bouquet to Amelia's grave before we returned to the castle, and he helped me let the pain of my sister's death go.

That day, I experienced different emotions. I discovered how it felt to discover new places, how it felt to have my heart shattered in millions of pieces, how it felt to let go of the emotions, and I learned to have a new emotion. I think that on that day I discovered what liking someone besides family love, and friendship like was. I think that on that day I might have fallen in love with Nine.
